Trade Review
"ReFocus: The Films of Shyam Benegal, offers a comprehensive and critical introduction to the vast body of work by a filmmaker who has been committed to studying Indian society and history through cinema. The essays in this volume provide in-depth analysis of the varied and intersecting forces including caste, gender, class, religion and conflicting histories that shape modern Indian experiences. The book productively expands understandings of India's multifaceted, parallel cinema and brings needed attention to the oeuvre of a lesser-studied filmmaker." -Aparna Sharma, University of California Los Angeles
